surgical anastomosis

Surgical anastomosis is a procedure where two parts of the body, such as blood vessels or sections of the intestine, are surgically connected or joined together. This is often done to restore function after removing damaged or diseased tissue, like in bowel surgeries or organ transplants. The goal is to create a secure, continuous pathway that allows fluids, nutrients, or blood to flow normally between the connected parts. The procedure requires precise technique to ensure proper healing and to prevent leaks or blockages, ultimately helping restore the body's natural function.
